2-Bromo-4-chlorobenzonitrile → 4-(5-Chloro-2-cyanophenyl)-6-methoxypyridin-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

600 mg (purity 89%, 3.0 mmol) of 5-cyano-2-methoxypyridin-4-ylboronic acid and 649 mg (3.0 mmol) of 2-bromo-4-chlorobenzonitrile in the presence of [1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) chloride/dichloromethane monoadduct were reacted according to General Method 2A. After aqueous work-up, the crude product was triturated with water and then with cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (7:3), and the solid was filtered off and dried under high vacuum. Yield: 399 mg (purity 94%, 46% of theory)
